HISTORY

The original building dates back to circa 1750 and probably began life as an inn catering for drovers using the adjacent land to move livestock between Oxford and London.
An extension was added in Victorian times and the old Rising Sun was established. In June 1966 a certain Mr Harry Cooper created a little bit of history by exiting the car park & colliding with a car driven by Prince Phillip. The Queen later arrived from Windsor castle to collect her husband & is reported to have stayed for a cup of tea with the landlady of the time.

By 1996 the old Rising Sun had become a shabby & infrequently used pub when Tim and Kerry Morris arrived to create the Sun & Stars. It was voted Caterer of the Year by Morlands Brewery in 1997, and nominated as a Les Routiers Quality Establishment.

During the last ten years the Sun and Stars has undergone many changes, and is now firmly established as an upmarket Pub and Restaurant providing the highest quality food, service and comfort.
